Punishment for
what has been earned
- The punishment for those who had taken the Qur'aan and then
ignored it and for the one who sleeps through the time of the
prescribed prayer.
Samurah bin Jundub narrated that Rasoolillah(SAW) said "...We came
upon a man who was lying down, and another standing over him with
a rock. He then hit him with the rock, split his head and the rock
rolled away. So he followed the rock and retrieved it. When he
returned to him his head had returned to how it was previously.The
explanation came at the end of the hadeeth by the statement of the
two angels to the Messenger of Allah (SAW): As for the first man
that you came upon whose head was being split with a rock; this
was a man who had taken the qur'aan and then ignored it, and had
slept through the time of the prescribed prayers. In another
narration, he said:....So this will continue to be done to him
until the Day of Resurrection."
- The punishment of the liar
We also find in the hadeeth of Samurah bin Jundub: "...We departed
until we came upon another man who was lying flat on his back,
while another stood over him with an iron hook. He approached the
one who was miserable looking. He faced him and ripped open his
mouth up to his neck, and his nose up to his neck, and his eye up
to his neck. He then went over to the other side and did the same
as he had done to the first side. He had hardly completed this
side when the other sider eturned to its normal state. He then
returned to it and did what he done the first time." At the end of
the hadeeth he said: "...As for the man that you came upon who had
his mouth ripped up to his neck, his nose ripped up to his neck,
and his eyes ripped up to his neck; this was a man who used to
leave his house, spreading lies and circulating them everywhere.
In another narration it says: So this will continue to be done to
him until the Day of Resurrection."
- The punishment of the adulterer and the adulteress.
In the same hadeeth we also find mentioned: "...We departed until
we came upon a clay lined pit. I think he said: There was much
noise and clamour. We looked into it and saw naked men and women,
and a flame was flaring from beneath them. Whenever that flame
reached them, they screamed. The explanation about them came in
the hadeeth: ...As for the naked men and women who were in the
clay lined pit; they were men and women who committed adultery."
- The punishment for the one who consumes interest.
In the previous hadeeth this is also explained: ...We departed
until we reached a river. (I think he said: It was red like
blood). In this river a man was swimming and on the bank of the
river there was a man who had gathered around him many rocks. The
one who who was swimming in the river, swam as much as he could,
then he came to the one who had all the rocks gathered around
him.He opened his mouth for him, and the other man threw a rock
into it. He left, and continued to swim. Then he returned to him;
and every time he returned to him, he opened his mouth for him and
the other man threw a rock into it.at the end of the hadeeth it
said: ...As for the man whom you came upon swimming in the river,
who had rocks thrown into his mouth; he was of those who consumed
usury. (Bukhari volume 2, Book 23, Number 468)
- The punishment for the one who does not protect himself from
urine.
The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: The most prevalent punishment
of the grave is due to urine. [It is in Saheeh al-Jaami' (3866)]
- The punishment is increased for the unbeliever because of the
weeping of his family over him.
The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: "Allah increases the punishment
for the unbeliever because of the weeping of his family over him."
[Related by an-Nisaa'ee]
- The dead is punished because of lamentation over him.
The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: "The dead is punished in his
grave because of lamentation over him." [Related by Bukhari and
Muslim. However if he advised them not to lament over him then he
is not punished.]
- The dead is punished because of what some of his family say
about him.
The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: "There is no single person who
dies and among his mourners one stands up and cries: O you who we
used to rely on! O you who used to support us! Except that two
angels will be assigned to him saying: Were you like this."
[Related by Tirmidhee]
- The punishment for the one who used to carry tales.
It was related from Ibn Abbaas that the Messenger of Allah (SAW)
passed by two graves and he said: "Indeed these two are being
punished; and they are not being punished for something minor. No,
on the contrary it is something very major. As for one of them; he
used to carry tales. As for the other, he never guarded himself
from his urine." [Related by Bukhaaree and Muslim]
